Another Diddy ex testifies to ‘obligation' in coerced, choreographed sexual encounters
A key witness, 'Jane,' has provided graphic testimony in the federal trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, alleging coercive sexual encounters. Combs allegedly orchestrated disturbing acts involving multiple women, with testimony also backing claims made by ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura. The trial has featured intense courtroom moments, including accusations of witness manipulation by Combs and shocking allegations from witnesses about violent and exploitative behaviour. A key witness took the stand in the federal trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs Thursday, giving graphic detail of choreographed sexual encounters with the music mogul that were allegedly coercive, testimony that's core to the prosecution's case. The woman, who is speaking in court under the pseudonym Jane, began delivering testimony that is expected to last for days and which so far mirrors descriptions provided by another marquee witness against Combs, his ex-girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura. Combs, 55, faces upwards of life in prison if convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking crimes. Both Jane and Ventura are key witnesses to the latter charges. Jane took the stand after some courtroom drama: the judge threatened to remove Combs after he was 'looking at jurors and nodding vigorously' while a different witness testified. Calling Combs's behaviour 'absolutely unacceptable,' Judge Arun Subramanian said, 'It cannot happen again.'

The court had been hearing testimony from Bryana Bongolan, a friend of Ventura's who had alleged that Combs dangled her from a 17th-story balcony before throwing her against furniture. Combs's gestures to the jury took place as Bongolan was under tense questioning from his defence team, who sought to cast her as an unreliable witness who abused drugs. 'Hotel nights' Jane's testimony was highly anticipated: she began by detailing how she had met Combs through a friend who was dating him at the time. But he came on strongly to Jane, she said, and when her friend got engaged to someone else, she began seeing Combs romantically. Their relationship began in earnest during a whirlwind five-day date at a Miami hotel, she said, describing Combs - as many others during the trial have - as 'larger than life.'

Several heady months followed, including a romantic trip to Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas in February 2021. She said Combs first gave her illicit drugs on that trip. When the vacation ended, he wired her $10 000 because she had been unable to work - at the time, she was creating content for brands on social media - and was a single mother. Jane silently collected herself and held her face in a tissue as she described how her blissful early days with Combs took a sharp turn in May 2021 when he began talking about his fantasies of seeing her with other men. She acquiesced because she wanted to make Combs happy, she said, and to her surprise, he arranged for another man she dubbed Don to meet them at a hotel that very night. AFP Jane thought the experience was a one-time thing, but she said instead, it became 'a door I was unable to shut.' The 'hotel nights' became a regular feature of their relationship, Jane told jurors, even when she said she didn't want it. 'He was just dismissive,' she said, saying that approximately 90 percent of their relationship became a pattern of her having sex with other men under Combs's direction. Full-time job Jane's descriptions of the 'hotel nights' - her provocative attire that Combs requested, red mood lighting, heavy drug use and copious baby oil - closely tracked with the testimony that Ventura gave on the stand of what she called 'freak-offs.' Jane said that the amount of time she spent getting ready for hotel nights with Combs, which he demanded at a moment's notice and sometimes flew her to, meant she did not work. Money from Combs and child support from her previous relationship were essentially her only income, she said. That testimony echoed Ventura's, who had said her freak-offs with Combs came to feel like a full-time job. Combs put Jane up in a home in Los Angeles for $10 000 a month, she said, and when she spoke against hotel nights, he would bring up that point.

Jane told jurors their relationship continued up until Combs's arrest in September 2024. Prosecutors say he ran a criminal enterprise of high-ranking employees and bodyguards who enforced his power with illicit acts, including kidnapping, bribery and arson. Along with Ventura and Jane, witnesses have included former employees of Bad Boy Enterprises, Combs's company. Jane's testimony will continue on Friday. The trial is expected to last at least another month.

Commonly used household item savagely exposed cheating husband: ‘It's timestamped and often location-based'
A woman caught her husband cheating in one of the most bizarre ways — and it involved an item everyone is guilty of using. There are some obvious signs that someone isn't being faithful in a relationship — being sneaky with their phone, suddenly having to work late. But rarely do people think to pay attention to their partner's mouth hygiene habits. Paul Jones, a private investigator at ARF Investigators, helped a woman figure out her husband was cheating, thanks to a log of his tooth brushing. It's not as weird as it sounds. One of Jones' clients downloaded an electric toothbrush app to get her kids to properly brush their pearly whites. Well, little did she — or her conniving husband — realize that the app tracked every family member's brushing routine. 'Over time, the client noticed their partner's brushing history was being logged at odd times, times when they were supposedly at work,' Jones said, according to the Mirror. Eventually, the wife noticed a bizarre pattern when her husband was sudsing his mouth — especially when it was happening at times he was supposed to be at work, the outlet explained. '… in that time he had started an affair with a work colleague and used to have her over the family home on a Friday when the wife and kids were out of the house,' the investigator said. 'It's timestamped, often location-based, and emotionless. When a device says someone brushed their teeth at 10:48 a.m. when they were supposed to start work at 9 a.m., that's very hard to explain away.' Another very unexpected way technology can help expose dirty cheaters is by checking the person's supermarket loyalty apps, the ones that help shoppers save money and earn rewards, according to London-based private investigator Aaron Bond. He said a supermarket loyalty member app can reveal a lot. 'Clubcard data is limited, but it does tell you a date and location, which is easily accessible if you log into your account,' Bond told the Mirror. 'If your partner claims they were working or out with friends but the account shows they made a purchase in a completely different area, then it's a clear red flag.'
